Deep beneath the ocean, stretching hundreds of miles alongside the Pacific Northwest coastline, lies the Cascadia subduction zone-a fault on the verge of unleashing a catastrophic earthquake, thirty times more powerful than the San Andreas. Unfortunately, like most tourists, Elena Cordova is oblivious.
She's got her own pent-up stress to deal with, a humiliating breakup that's driven her to end her tenure as a human doormat once and for all. So, when a pickpocket makes off with the last remnant of her relationship, she takes action-only to get trapped with him when disaster strikes.
Now, if either one hopes to survive, they'll have to get past their initial impressions and work together... because in fifteen minutes, half the town will be underwater.

Go Way Back
We all have our first. Our first walk, our first cry, our first laugh, and most especially, our very first heartbeat. Falling in love is easy.

We are also going to go through our first heartbreak, which will teach us that no matter how much you love someone, the more you try to hold onto them, the more probable it is that they will escape your grasp. Is it true that genuine love never fades and always finds a way back, regardless of how much time has passed? Is it true that true love never fades and always finds a way back? Is it really true that the second time around, love is sweeter?Complete
Where the Sea meets the Star
Two different worlds. One tragic accident. A love they never saw coming. Remiel Santos is the sea-deep, guarded, and bearing the weight of a world that has asked too much, too soon. As a criminology graduate working as a security guard, her life is one of quiet duty, her own dreams shelved to keep her family from drowning in debt. Jessica Abellana is the star-bright, celebrated, and untouchable. A rising volleyball superstar and heiress to a business empire, she moves through life with the radiant, effortless glow of someone who has never been told "no." Their worlds were never meant to cross. But a ferocious storm and a tragic ferry disaster shatter their separate realities, stranding them together on a deserted island. Now, the heiress used to being served must learn to survive, and the security guard used to being overlooked is the only one who can keep them alive. As they navigate the wild, their prejudices clash and slowly erode, revealing a connection as powerful and unpredictable as the ocean tide. But the greatest danger isn't the island. It's the terrifying, unexpected journey of falling in love. Rescue is only the beginning. Returning to the real world means facing her billionaire father's disapproval, the media's spotlight, and the vast social chasm that threatens to tear them apart. Can a love born where the sea meets the stars survive in the harsh light of day?

Predators, once familiar, now hunt with unnatural savagery, their eyes burning with a malevolent intelligence. Here, survival is not a promise, but a terrifying metamorphosis, a plunge into an escalating nightmare where the line between humanity and what lurks in the shadows blurs, and the cost of living might be a fate far worse than death.

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
